Laptop with the intel graphic adaptors as main graphic adaptor

October 17, 2015 3:54:24 AM from Ashes of the Singularity ForumsAshes of the Singularity Forums

 

  I have a Asus GL551JM with 8 gb of memory and a gtx 860m with 2gb of dedicated video memory. The processor is a quad core i7-4710HQ. All that fit the mimimun requirement. Nevertheless this laptop come with the  intel graphic adaptor as the main display adaptor I think to allow energy saving when the video card isn't in use. But when I play  the game the video card kicks in. The dx11 version worked fine but the dx12 version has stopped working with 0.51. I have issued a support ticket once but it came to be  short lived  with the intel adaptator with no video memory listed in my dxdiag, support ruled out my configuration. Now with 0.60 the dx11 version has stop working too. I guess that's GPU detection and auto-set graphics settings to something safe mentioned in the 0.60 changelog. What are the plan with this kind of laptop? I suppose they are to be supported at some point in the devellopement process. Any idea when that will be?


  EDIT: Don't bother to reply Ashes had nothing to do with it,and congrats for the good work.

Actually Ashes did kill my pet or at least my directx install. I'm out to try to restore it.

I apologize Ashes didn't kill my pet. I suppose the install of the new nvidia drivers this morning with the geoforce experience software didn't went well. I have reinstalled the graphic drivers after a download fron the nvidia website and directx works again for other game. But the dx12 version of ashes still doesn't launch (worked only with 0.51) and the dx11 version which worked fine all along is unplayable slow now with 0.60.

I'm taking back the apology. My directx install was destroyed after I launched Ashes. I had to reinstall the drivers again.  It's the dx12 version that can do that merely by trying to launch it. The dx11 version launch but weirdly; the splash screen flashed back a couple of times during the launch and then the games lags horribly.

Apologies are back. This morning install of nvidia 358.50 drivers looked fine but wasn't. It remained like that even after the clean install with the manually downloaded drivers. This new install seemed to be a fix but it broke as soon as I launched Ashes. So I blamed ashes. I did the install again, it things fix again and then break again at some point. I finally uninstalled all Nvidia software with Glary Utilities and could complete a good install.

  Even better the DX12 version works now. Good work stardock and Oxide.
